Pros
Pay was good. Benefits we're ok.
Cons
20+ years of service and just a conference call to end it.
Advice to Management
Give people the opportunity to find another job within the company before just sending them to the house. I would have worked for less money to stay on.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Windstream full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Talented co-workers. Offers lots of opportunity for training and educational development. Flexible work hours with work from home possibilities. 401K match.
Cons
The company no longer offers any type of annual merit/cost of living raises for salaried employees. Opportunity for internal promotion and advancement is very limited and not typically encouraged by direct managers.
Advice to Management
Encourage internal promotions. Bring back raises. Show all employees their contributions matter by paying them what they are worth based on experience, performance and the current market rates.
